>Hi, this is Kevin Zeese, I'm here in Concord, New Hampshire with Rob 
>Cirincione and Virginia Rodino and we're here for the New Hampshire 
>recount of the Nader/Kerry/Bush race and it's just getting under 
>way.  There's a room full of people here.  There's a lot of positive 
>energy in the room.  We've brought together more than twice the 
>number of volunteers we need to manage the recount, to observe and 
>make sure that the recount is done accurately.  People feel very 
>confident that we're going to make our democracy better and 
>stronger.  The media has started covering this.  We've seen a lot of 
>reports here in New Hampshire and even The Nation magazine, on their 
>website, has an article about this New Hampshire recount.  The 
>Boston Globe was here, so I'm sure we'll see some coverage of this 
>no matter how it turns out.
>
>I want to make it clear what the goal is in this recount.  We're not 
>here trying to overturn the election.  We're doing basic democracy 
>activism.  We're trying to protect our democracy.  This is more like 
>an audit of the vote.  We're seeking a recount in wards in New 
>Hampshire where there have been mathematical anomalies, where people 
>expected more votes for Kerry than Bush, and Bush got anywhere from 
>5 to 15% more votes than expected.  When we look at those numbers it 
>turns out that most of those anomalies occurred in wards where the 
>vote was counted on the Diebold AccuVote Machine, in fact 78% of 
>those unusual votes were on those machines.  This is the first audit 
>in a Presidential Election of an electronic voting count system so 
>it's an historic moment.  Either way it turns out it will be good 
>for our democracy.  If it turns out that there was no problem, it 
>will show that these machines were reliable in this race, it will 
>show that there's a positive role for audits and it will make the 
>Democrats question further why they keep losing support-and I think 
>there's good reason they're losing support.  If it turns out there's 
>a problem, well then we have a major national story involving 
>electronic voting and raising questions that really need to be 
>evaluated, as more and more of the country goes to electronic vote 
>count.
>
>So, we're here, fighting for democracy and would love to have your 
>support and best wishes for our success in it.  Please visit 
>our <http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M66202965715218810034965>website [<http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M66203395715218810034965>votenader.org] 
>to get actively involved.  This will be the first stage of the 
>recount so we'll need more help as this goes forward. 
>So, <http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M66202975715218810034965>send 
>your money, or call if you live in New Hampshire and would like to 
>volunteer.

>Thanks a lot.
